Carrie is a wife and very proud mother of two boys busy spinning plates between business
and domesticity - Can be found attached to a laptop or making a model dinosaur for the
next school project!

'Mrs W’ is the ‘social mama’ of the Seventy9 family and never misses a trick when
attaching a brand to a big media trending story - she always comes up ‘#Trumps’
(Get it?)...

She loves nothing more than a quiet Saturday whilst all 3 boys are at football
to catch up on some addictive box sets whilst looking forward to a Pinot Grigio or
3 and some ‘food porn’ - Always grazing and shouldn’t be crossed when she’s ‘hangry’!

Carrie enjoys knitting, loves a good book; especially when its being read on a sun-bed somewhere
hot…Carrie truly relates to every mother’s plight for peace with parenting topics being her
speciality! #metime

Jamie Lamb

Senior Web Developer

As David Attenborough once said...

"... and here we see an exciting rarity, never before has one witnessed the lesser spotted IT
Gremlin outside of its natural habitat -'the server room'. Males of the species
are thought to be 5 feet 11 inches tall, with long hair and patchy beards.

Regularly deemed to be 'overweight' by conventional western society,
the IT Gremlin's fight this off with their nonchalant immaturity and poor dietary
choices. This coupled with their unique intelligence levels - sitting somewhere toward
the dopey end of the scale, allows them to lead a blissfully ignorant, happy life.

Unfortunately, however, In recent years, the species has become endangered as many struggle
to find breeding partners after making it into their 20's and those that do rarely exceed
fathering 2 younglings before scurrying back to the safety of their server cabinets."

Shreya Ganatra

Junior Web Developer

He may come from a small town but he's got bigger dreams.
Shreya is an ambitious junior developer also studying at university part time.
He works hard to play and party even harder, especially on the weekends!

Funny, charming and (definitely) handsome are all words that can be used to accurately describe Shreya.

Ben Lewis

Apprentice Web Developer

When it comes to technology Ben is always on top of the new trends. When he is not out
spending money on more clothes he likes to spend his weekends hardcore gaming. However,
when the internet decides to give in he likes to spend his time with his family and friends.

He is an ambitious apprentice web developer and enthusiastic tea connoisseur. Some may even say
he’s beautiful (this is a very rare occurrence though).

Lisa Lade

Digital Marketer

Lisa lives and breathes Arsenal. A true out and out Gunner.
She even met Denis Bergkamp at the old Highbury stadium and
has a photo of it proudly staring at her whilst she works
on Digital Marketing for our clients!

Trained in the Seventy9 Digital Marketing way,
she enjoys nothing more than popping in to AdWords, Analytics or
Google Business Listings. Well, not strictly true, there are other
things she enjoys more, but let’s leave that there for now.

Calvin Mistry

Digital Marketing Specialist

Calvin is a proud digital marketing specalist here at Seventy9. Someone who loves being creative, he has big dreams and aspirations in life! A massive football fan, his weekends are mostly spent watching Liverpool and his local team Northampton Town Football Club. However when the result doesn’t go the right way and his team Loose it often decides his weekend. Going out with his mates and spending quality time with his family are all things he loves doing.

Ben Tatman

Often referred to as the grandpa of the group he matured at an early age. Ben has a strong knowledge of everything computer related with a large extent of customer service work experience starting back when he was 16!
